I cared for an elderly Italian couple for seven years. He had cancer, she was diabetic with limited mobility. My care included preparing breakfast and lunch. Administered their daily meds. Light cleaning. Personal grooming, toileting, and dressing. Companionship. Getting them to and from their Doctors appointments. Also grocery shopping. I also learned quite a lot of Italian in order to communicate with them. After their passing, (3 years apart) I did not go to another family for elder care. I have although taken and am currently caring for a special needs child after school (Mon., Wed., Fri.) and on weekends. I have CPR. Safe Food handlers certificate. Respite support worker certified. I will also get a police clearance upon request. I miss the couple that I cared for and feel that I would again like to care for an elderly person. I am available for 5 hours a day Mon-Fri
